﻿﻿In June We Celebrate Marriage

We often think of June as the “wedding month” but it shouldn’t stop there; we should consider that with the millions of people who married in June, or any month, there is a still (hopefully) an ongoing marriage.

No matter when a couple marries or how long it lasts, true love starts in the heart of a lover. English Renaissance Poet Christopher Marlowe, 1564–1593, who was a dramatist and a contemporary of Shakespeare, wrote “The Passionate Shepherd to his Love” which I have incorporated into the collage in this posting.

In today’s economy of words it has changed to simply “Will you marry me?”
